“Those who seek to split the MAS-IPSP seek the destruction of our organization,” said the leader of the force with the largest bench in the Plurinational Legislative Assembly (Parliament).
Morales stressed on his Twitter account that “our strength lies in unity and loyalty to the principles of constant defense of the rights of the poorest against looting and abuses by the pro-imperialist and capitalist right”.
In another message posted to the social network, the MAS-IPSP leader claimed that this is the largest, most important and most influential political force in Bolivia’s history.
He added that it feeds on the people’s revolutionary impulse and is “organized through its social movements in alliance with patriotic professionals and intellectuals”.
He defined Bolivia’s first former indigenous president as the main enemy of the MAS-IPSP on the right, which “try to confront us with betrayals, ambitions and lies”.
The leader, who emerged from the coca farmers’ unions, stressed that “our duty is to maintain unity with the truth and dignity of our decisions and actions. We don’t do politics for money, we do politics for the fatherland”.
Just 72 hours ago, at the inauguration of the Tantachawi (Great Encounter) of the National Council of Ayllus and Markas of Qullasuyu (Conamaq), which brings together the leaders of the indigenous communities, Bolivian President Luis Arce made a joint call from Cochabamba to peoples from that country.
“We must take care of the unity of our sister and brother social organizations, we must do everything to maintain unity, because unity is the guarantee of a plurinational, pluricultural democracy, the unity of our social organizations,” Evo assured.
His admonition continued the appeal to social organizations and MAS-IPSP bases published a day earlier by the Bolivian government in the face of new opposition attacks aimed at destabilizing the political structure of the majority party.
The MAS Ethics Court reported last Wednesday the expulsion and loss of the seat of Santa Cruz Deputy Deputy Rolando Américo Enríquez Cuellar, who contested the majority party structure in the Legislative Assembly and called for a change in leadership.
Likewise, the Confederation of Unions of Intercultural Women of Bolivia in Cochabamba expelled from its ranks the organization’s executive Angélica Ponce, who was accused of slandering Evo Morales and inciting divisions by trying to create a parallel structure to that movement.
